ricane for q couple Of hours. The rain
fall by actual measurement reached ten

damage a. the wind. Hardly tree is left
standing in the vicinity Of the city and sew
eral hundred acres Of valuable sugar cane
were blown fiat. The roof Of the Masonic
Hall was carried away. Scanlon's large
oil warehouse was demolished, and many
private residences we're unrOofed and the
contents ruined by the heavy rain. Many
Mexican families whose frail houses were
toppled over, were cared for by citizens
and lodged in public buildings. Telegraph
wires are Frustrated and the extent Of tho
damage south and west Of here along the
Rio Grande is not yet known. The damage
is estimated at 1000, 0O0. In Brownsville

A Citizen Waylaid and Murdered by Two
Negroes.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Sept. 23.-Richter-
German stonemasOn, was waylaid last
evening on Broadway near the corner Of
Delaware by two colored men, who cut his
throat from ear to ear and gave him one
slash across the breast. The assaulted man
died few minutes later. The only witness
to the tragedy was his own brother,
Charles, who was coming north on Broad
way near Fenn's planning mill when he
heard voice calling for help. He at once
recognized the voice as that Of his brother,
and stopping his horse almost instantly ran
TO his assistance. The two men had
just completed their butchery and
started to make dash down
Broadway and up Cherokee street. Rich
ter ran after them, but finding pursuit use
less he returned to assist his brother, who
had walked about fifty feet after receiving
the fearful cash, and had fallen to the
ground dead The alarm was at once given
to the police, but the capture of the out
laws is doubtful. The motive Of the muir
der was robbery. Richter was slasheG
from the top Of the left side Of his face
down to the right ear. The spot where the
crime was committed is by no means
lonely one, and right in the shadow of ar
electric light. The murdered man was

Divorce Statistics.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Congress, at its
last session, made an appropriation for tho
collection of divorce and other collateral
statistics. The bureau now has about thlr.
ty agents in the field collecting these datas.
The inquiry embraces the number of d.
vorces granted from 1867 to 1857. The num-
Der Of marriages each year, the children OF
each union, the cause for which divorce
was granted, and whether absolute or linn
tied, the length OF time the couple was
married and other facts. 1t will also have
a synopsis of the divorce laws Of each
State and Territory, with possibly somc
comment on the same. The figures will DO
given by States and Territories by couu-
ties and court districts, and will be the
most complete history of marital infclicity
ever published. 1t is principally owing to
the efforts Of the New England Divorce
League, of which Rev. Sam Dixie, of Boston.
is president, that Congress was induced TO
undertake the WORK, which will be Of the
greatest interest and value to students Of
social science.

cheering by large crowd which had gath

Tested great excitment, but there was no
indications of disorder. O'Brien was i'm
mediately conveyed by his guards to the

WRECK IN THE TERRITORY.

A Light Engine COliites With q C0nstruc-
ton Train-Hild RunOrs Of the Killed and
Injured.
ARKANSAS CITY, Ran, Sept. Especial
advices from Purcell, l. T., say that Sc
rious wreck occurred four miles south OF
Guthrie, small town north of that eli: y, on
the Gulf division Of the Southern Kansas
railway. 1t seems that working train
which was going up to Guthrie after the
working gang was run into by light en-
CINE. The engine was supposed to he
tagged against the construction train, but
instead was rum inr at q high rate of
speed. When rounding sharp curve the
construction train was seen bear.
ing swiftly down upon them,
but too late to avert the
catastrophe. Several OF the train men
jumped and saved themselves, but the en-
gineers stuck to their engines until they
struck. About twelve freight cars and the
two engines are piled up in heap. En-
gineer Charles Pearson, Of the light en-
CINE, is supposed to be fatally injured, and
his fireman, Charles Stewart, is seriously
injured. The widest tumors are afioat in
regard to the number Of laborers killed
and wounded, but conservative estimates
places the number at eight or ten wounded.

THE CHOLERA.


Arrival OF . Vessel 1t New York with CAsop
era ON Boafd-N0 Fears Approhenaed.
NEW YoRK, Sept. A-The steamship
Alesia, which arrived below Thursday
night from Marseilles and Naples, with 600
passengers has Asiatic cholera aboard.
Eight OF her passengers died on the voyage,
and en- her arrival at quarantine the health
officer found four cases aboard He sent
the Alcsia and her passengers to West
Bank in the lower bay. Tho steamer
Alesia, Captain Valet, sailed from Naples
when the cholera was raging in that city
and in the vicinity, and an even worse form
in other Italian ports and in Syria Those
who were taken sick got aboard at Naples.
no FEARS AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Sept. A-Dr. Hamilton,
Surgeon General Of the Marine Hospital
Service, said last night that the arrival Of q
single ship at New York infected with
Asiatic cholera need not give occasion for
alarm In his judgment the health officer
at New York would be able to handle tho
cases at quarantine without difficulty. The
sick would, OF course, he said, be properly
isolated and well removed to safe place,
their clothing and baggage fumigated and
disinfected, the ship thoroughly cleanse0
and her cargo removed and disinfected.
The experiences Of the past were not likely
to be repeated because the value of pro-
cautionary measures were now appreciated
and their lessons too well understood by
health officers throughout the country for
them to neglect to take any precautions
necessary ON an occasion Of this kind.
History Of past epldemics had shown that
it was only by repeated arrivals Of cholera
infected vessels that the disease
gained o foothold in this country. 1t
was not Indigenous and the climate and
soil were not favorable to its propagation,
but like all contagious diseases it might be
imported if not guarded against. As an IL
lustr,. .; On Of the fact that it had broken
out after the arrival Of several cholera
laden vessels, he cited the great epidemic
Of 1892. He believed the disease was
brought here from Canada, ship bound
for Quebec from Ireland arriving at the
Crosse Isle quarantine in April with 11O
emigrants and having Twenty-Five deaths
from cholera during tho voyage. But it
was not until after the third cholera-in-
fected ship arrived in June that the disease
broke out on shore. 1t then spread through
out Canada and New York State.
Distinction was not practiced at that
time nor was soiled clothing renovated nor
any precautions taken, to neglect which in
this day would be criminal. In November,
1S4S, the ship New York arrived at New
York from Havrc with eleven cases OF
cholera on board and seven deaths on the
voyage. The number of cases increased to
twenty the next day, finally reaching sixty
three cases and twenty-nine deaths, but
winter setting in quite severely the disease
entirely subsidized.
